Why do women live longer than men?

Author: Admin  //  Category: Health and Medicine

The life expectancy gap between men and women is shrinking in recent years, however women have always outlived men.

Here’s why:

Men tend to drink and smoke more than women. On average women seek medical help more often then men. Men are more apt to engage in high risk or dangerous behaviors. Men also on average have higher stress levels than women, mostly due to working conditions.

The bright side is that most of these things can be prevented. Get regular checkups, and engage in a healthy and active lifestyle. It can ultimately add years to your life.
